About this episode
Send us a text Peaches and Trent roll into another beautifully unprepared episode packed with humor, straight talk, and real military insight. From the Okinawa body-slam everyone argues about to actually useful Air Force leadership lessons, fan-mail adventures, pipeline expectations, and what young candidates should really learn before joining Special Warfare, the guys keep it light, honest, and genuinely helpful. If you want a mix of Air Force culture, Special Warfare mindset, leadership truth bombs, and a laugh or two, this one delivers without the negativity spiral. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Zero prep, full personality 02:00 OTS updates and gear that actually works 04:20 Fan mail roulette: from wholesome to wild 09:00 Waivers, pipelines, and realistic expectations 13:00 Life skills every future operator should master 16:30 Why commanders get roasted (and the reality behind it) 22:00 Chiefs, officers, and the leadership lessons nobody teaches 26:00 Okinawa body-slam drama — what matters and what doesn’t 33:00 SOFA agreements and overseas military life 39:00 LSCO talk without panic or PowerPoints 44:00 NCO Corps: how to lead without being needy 53:00 GWOT nostalgia and lessons for the next generation 58:00 Commander’s intent vs permission culture 01:04:00 LEDs, merch, and Peaches campaigning for a fresh SR shirt 🎯 CALL-TO-ACTIONS 👍 Like the episode 🔔 Subscribe for more Air Force + Special Warfare conversations 💬 Comment with your thoughts or experiences 🌟 Leave a review 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Grab merch and gear at OnesReady.com Support the show Join this channel to get access to perks: HERE Buzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.com Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete Danger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY DFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADY Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY ...
